Common Virginia Easement Disputes
An easement is an agreement that allows a party to use or build on another person’s property based on mutually agreed-upon terms. However, disputes can and often do arise due to several reasons:
- The wrong type of easement for the expressed intended use
- Undocumented changes are made to the easement terms
- Use of the property in an unagreed-upon manner
- Blocking access to the agreed-upon area
- Not utilizing the easement property for a long period
While an easement dispute can be complicated, you need not navigate it alone. Our seasoned real estate lawyers can provide the guidance you need to protect your rights.
Frequent Virginia Boundary Line Conflicts
Disputes can also arise over property and boundary lines. They can stem from various causes, such as:
- Outdated surveying
- Inaccurate measurements
- Unclear landmarks
- Neighboring structures built without permission (encroachment)
Adverse possession, where a neighbor has used the land on a long-term basis without a challenge, can also cause a boundary line dispute. They may have a valid claim to ownership of the property, which can lead to additional legal concerns.
